    According to a federal official, the C.D.C. has been preparing to recommend that everyone wear face coverings in public settings, like pharmacies and grocery stores, to avoid unwittingly spreading the virus. Public health officials have continued to stress, however, that N95 masks and surgical masks should be saved for front-line doctors and nurses, who have been in dire need of protective gear.



    For weeks, the administration has sent conflicting messages on masks. At first, officials clearly stated that masks should only be worn by sick people. For some time, Mr. Trump has been saying masks might be useful, but scarves would be fine as well. Chinese officials have expressed alarm at how few ordinary Americans are covering their noses and mouths.

    The Patriots are sometimes the heels of the NFL as a result of it’s straightforward for these exterior of New England to hate on a staff that has gained six Super Bowl titles. However in accordance with the WSJ, the Krafts agreed to pay $2 million towards the price of the masks and are sending some to New York (dwelling of the Jets, one of many Pats’ greatest rivals).

    Whereas it’s most likely not going to transform any Jets or Steelers followers to root for the Patriots, this story is an enchanting behind-the-scenes have a look at, as corny because it sounds, the ability of teamwork throughout a disaster. Check it out here.

    It's actually reaching a point where some companies are going to the airport and offering more money than what Canada paid for the stuff in the first place, or the flight is just turning back when it reaches the airport and going to some US city.

    how does the peace officer get the unmasked person's ID and give back the ticket plus maintain social distancing without risking contaminating the perp?

    You make do--I wear a scarf in public, and now I'll be wearing a home-made cloth mask at work. Yeah, it's not an n-95, but we really need to keep those for our health care workers.

    Hi everyone! Admittedly I have not visited the site as often after the passing of tiptoptrader. However, I am an intensive care unit nurse and would love to provide insight if any of you intellects have any pressing questions for someone who is interacting with covid-19 first hand.

    Awesome.

    (1) Where are you located and have you seen many COVID cases in your facility?
    (2) How many/what percentage of COVID cases admitted to hospital end up in ICU? (Or perhaps they only get admitted once they need ICU?)
    (3) What is the survival rate once someone needs ICU?
    (4) Is your ICU at capacity with COVID cases? If so, how long has it been filled to capacity and how long do you expect it to stay at capacity? If not, does it look like it will reach capacity?
    (5) Do you have all the protective gear you need?
    (6) What is the question we should be asking that we aren't thinking to ask?
